Any other Minnesota womyn around? I'm in Minneapolis, which I rate okay if smelly to ride in summer, and deathly in winter if there's any appreciable snow. I'm fine riding down to 15-20 Fahrenheit (frozen boobs and butt, whee) if there's no real wind. But the traffic and narrowing, snowy streets make it rough for those not hardcore icebikers.
And I think we really need more bike lockers and cycle-commuter-friendly businesses.
I'm not happy that the Old Cedar bridge got closed off. The next bike/ped-friendly river crossing is at least 5 more miles either direction. And one of those (169/18/whatever it's called now) is often flooded. And the other is that flat-a-thon of freeway debris that never gets swept. Grrr.
Anyone know of any casual womyn's group rides around here? Ye olde Google search gave me nothing, so I'm hoping the cool womyn's clubs are simply not online yet.
